How about three hundred million numbers?

I don't think it addresses your specific circumstances, but I don't 
know the details. This may help a bit, it may not.

I would speculate that the 3% rate was constant, and your first year 
startled out of the bushes that 5% reservoir of people whose interest 
was still going even without OpenID to latch onto, but speculations 
won't help here - you still need hard facts.
